McKinney police bring “gasoline” to a volatile situation

I heard Joel Osteen once say that people come to controversy with two buckets. One has water and the other has gasoline. If they use the water bucket they can possibly calm the situation, but if they use the bucket of gasoline they will make a volatile situation more volatile. Well the Mckinney police chose the gasoline and they set it off. Group of teens at a pool party, neighbor complains and police disperse but is this the way to deal with children? Would this policeman have taken down a blonde 14 year old like he took down this 14 year old. Was she a menace to society or a typical teen? Was it necessary to pull his gun on fleeing teens who had not committed a crime? Remember the biker gang who shot up a restaurant and left 9 people dead? Look up the picture of the police interacting with killers and then look at this video and see who is the menace to society.
